about

AGE is the second of four mini-EPs leading up to the DARK AGE DAY DREAM full length.
Contains the songs DISTANT WORLD and SILICON GOD.

„A place on the sun. All aglow. Walking on fires in search of a flower. Yellow. Rose. Silver lime.“

DISTANT WORLD, the lead single from AGE (the 2nd mini-EP) from avant-pop outfit Eutropic finds the trio exploring the theme of physical and spiritual isolation. The music was sketched out at the band’s rehearsal space, while the lyrics were put to ink when vocalist Dominique Hindermann found himself snowed-in for days, alone, in a cabin up in the Swiss Alps. Destiny would have it that someone before him left Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s Little Prince there. The book put Dominique in the protagonist’s shoes, infusing his precarious situation with something of a cosmic / mythological hue. The lyrics practically wrote themselves. The finished song sounds like a soothing, coiling mantra set to a sonic rendition of solar flares and meteor showers The world spins full of celestial bodies aflame. Vast space. The arrangement is full of floating synth artefacts rooted in a steady, chunky bass pulse and elastic, wobbly kicks. Space is the place and it’s full of groove.

„You love what I have designed for you. silicon god. creator.“

A Silicon god wants absolutely nothing from you! Except your absolute surrender. Your total transparency. They will grant everything your heart desires, but only if you share everything you have. SILICON GOD examines the power dynamic between Silicon Valley mavericks and a society that operates using the tools they have designed. Under closer inspection, what comes to light is the fact that the entire exchange is based on harnessing the religious instincts of humans, mainly the pursuit of endless youth and immortality. Synth bleeps. Info packages shot at the speed of light. Fiberoptic arteries full of zeros and ones ceaselessly pumping information. High tension. Tight bass. An onslaught of information. Hissing synths. Desire. Sublimation. Ecstasy.

about

Eutropic Bern, Switzerland

Eutropic are an analog synth-obsessed avant pop trio. Their music explores human emotion through the prism of a high- resolution gradient. It draws from cold and new wave, several iterations of techno and classic 70s electronica. It’s functional, yet introspective – full of nuance, detailed shadings, curious overlaps and idiosyncratic contradictions. ... more
